📍 Belfast, June 26, 2007 — A day of drama and emotion as Sachin Tendulkar fell agonizingly short of a century, dismissed for 99 for the first time in his international career. In his 524th match, the Master Blaster played a fluent knock, building a 158-run stand with Dravid before being run out by van Wyk’s sharp throw. 🦠 India, hit by a flu bug and missing key players, still posted a competitive total. Piyush Chawla impressed with 3 wickets despite unfavourable conditions. But the calm and composed Jacques Kallis (91)* guided South Africa through a tense chase, anchoring the innings and getting support from debutant Vernon Philander, who hit the winning runs with just 3 balls to spare. 📌 Match Summary: India: 242/8 in 50 overs (Tendulkar 99, Dravid 74) South Africa: 245/6 in 49.3 overs (Kallis 91*, Chawla 3/47) 🏆 Man of the Match: Jacques Kallis An ODI filled with vintage strokeplay, high-pressure moments, and a historic heartbreak for Tendulkar fans. 🔔 Subscribe for more epic cricket memories from the 2000s! #INDvsSA #CricketMax #Highlights
